Smartphone interface are lifting our expectations of convenient touch user input not just on phones and tablets, but possibly on larger types on computing devices as well.
3M recently demonstrated 24-inch and 27-inch multi-touch displays that support multi-user capability. The smaller version can detect up to 20 touches, while the larger display can sense up to 40 touches to enable multi-user input and on-screen collaboration.
According to 3M, the displays run at 1920x1080 pixel resolution, sport a 10 ms response time for "advanced multi-touch applications" and a 99 percent accuracy rating for touch positions.
The 27-inch model M2767PW retails for $2,000. Pricing for the 24-inch M2467PW has not been released.

Good call, 20 touch points when people only have 10 fingers, what's the point?
Collaboration as in multiple people working on the large screens at once that is what this is for.
Take off your shoes, drop your fly, and improvise..
duuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrr read much there helen keller?
How many fingers did Helen Keller have? I never heard that she was polydactylic.
Yeah, I kinda got that, but just exactly how much invasion of personal space is going on when more than a single person works on a 27 inch monitor within touching distance
A 40" surface, laid out like a table, with a person on each side I can see, but a desktop monitor?
Pointless
